Aidi School Hosts Children’s Day Carnival

On 26 May, Aidi School’s playground was transformed into a lively carnival scene, with colorful bright lights and upbeat tunes, creating a dazzling stage for the Children’s Day Carnival.

This audience was treated to flawless performances of classic songs and dances from Chinese culture by the Aidi School children, including the subtle and beautiful Ling bird Dai dance, Jiangnan’s gentle folk song Jasmine and the majestic E Hulan Randan. The mesmerizing performances transported the audience to the distant beauty of Guangxi and Yunnan, then to the thrilling Dragon Boat racing on a river in Hubei, before enchanting them with the magnificent mountains of Guangxi. It was clear to see that the children have a profound understanding of the different cultures and characteristics that China has to offer.

The Beijing Opera ensemble displayed the children’s incredible competence at playing musical instruments, while the high-intensity hip-hop dance act demonstrated how much the Aidi children benefit from their studies and sustained effort and practice.

The Grade 6 students’ performance at the carnival was the perfect ending to their Primary School career as their graduation neared. After years of studying and living at Aidi, the love and affection between the students and teachers is moving and can be felt throughout the whole show.

Throughout these performances, it is clear to see that the students of Aidi School have developed and convey amazing self-confidence in them. They’re brave and genuinely proud of themselves and their peers. This allows them to remain persistent in following their dreams of success and enterprise.

By the end of the evening, each child who took part was a star in their own right. After just two hours, the carnival left the audience and the students with memories that will last a lifetime.
